Happy Birthday wish from Donnie Duncan, former OU athletic director and assistant coach: "(Happy Birthday to) a special and talented man, but your greatest legacy will be that as the head coach at Oklahoma. Your openness brought hope into homes where there was little hope. In the process, every player had a fair chance and millions were uplifted by seeing on TV how one man could -- and did -- make a difference."
